Treasure Hunt

Well - last Saturday, me and the kids went on a Geocache - a treasure hunt using GPS. We where introduced by a friend of mine, and it basically means that you look at the website, find a treasure hunt, get coordinates and a map and then off you go.

We went with my friend, she has a handheld GPS, and after we found our first cache, the kids got really into it (well Jessica and Fredrik, Oliver was fast asleep on this first one). Off to the next one, in a lovely place, high up in one of the National parks not far from us, with a great view, Oliver was awake, which was good - the pram could not come on this one - and when Fredrik and Jessica found the treasure, Oliver got to choose. Hopefully we will be able to do a few more of these over the spring holiday coming up next week.

You can also "tag" things and plant them in a treasure, and then watch them as they make their way around the place, or world if you like.

I had a very nice weekend, it felt very long, mainly because we went to a friends birthday party on Thursday night (only Niclas and me)- then off to a seafood dinner with friends on Friday ( with only Oliver joining us) and then on Saturday I went into town to meet up with a good friend of mine, Annett. We had drinks at the crewhotel first, then off to a great restaurant in the Rocks. Got home late, and Oliver wakes lots in the night and early in the morning, but it was all worth it.
Sunday was spent lazing around the house - or gathering rubbish and stuff to throw out - council clean up on Monday.

Yesterday I had my first homeparty - selling underwear - went well and I now feel more confident in starting this whole thing up.

Niclas is in Hong Kong this week - lucky him - perhaps next time I can come too...
